Let's put this masonry debate to rest. I propose we replace grid with masonry altogether. Think about how much trendier everything will be. #CSS #WebDev #WebDevelopment

Something about this makes me uncomfortable in a way I struggle to articulate in words. larsberg.github.io/_lsr/2018/10...

If you make a CSS centring joke in the modern era, you deserve to be put in a metal flexbox and centred in the middle of the ocean. #CSS #WebDev

My magnet implant is super sensitive at the moment. I can feel the magnets in my laptop chassis as I type this. Wonder what is causing it and if it is permanent.

Speakers of English (traditional) rejoice, for I have fixed CSS. You can sleep easy knowing that there exists an easy way to permit writing 'colour' as 'colour'. BritCSS is a simple bit of client-side JS that permits using English spellings. github.com/DeclanChidlo... #CSS #WebDev #FrontEndDev

I've got YouTubers reacting to my writing and AI podcasts discussing it. I've really made it now...

I had a vision. The CSS Masonry angel came down from the heavens and addressed me. I made to speak, but it reached out a single finger and touched it to my lips to hush me. "Soon," it said with the voice of a choir. "Soon." #CSS #WebDev

I was working with Three.js today, and I noticed they've got a nav item called 'GPT' in the sidebar of their site. Clicking it takes you to a ChatGPT GPT called 'Three.js Mentor'. First time I've seen something like this. Feels odd. threejs.org chatgpt.com/g/g-jGjqAMvE...

I build on the web but, more importantly, build for the web.

Tonight, on Hacker News. Vale posts a comment on a thread about Kindle hacking and writes the word gaol as 'gaol' rather than 'jail'. Everyone loses their minds. Insults are hurled. Riots in the streets. More at 9. news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4307...

My links page has ballooned to some 300+ items – not including the YouTube playlist – so I've split it up and added descriptions to some things. Enjoy! vale.rocks/links

This article has seen response beyond anything I've ever written before and has prompted some really interesting discussion. In particular, I've enjoyed @jaredwhite.com's take in his article on That HTML Blog. thathtml.blog/2025/02/we-n... #FrontEndDev #WebDev

Just redesigned my website's landing page as it was starting to feel a tad stale. I blame @shellsharks.com for prompting this with their recent redesign. vale.rocks

@whitep4nth3r.com's recent writing and discussion of 'copy codeblock' buttons and their accessibility benefits has prompted me to finally get around to adding them to Vale.Rocks. I also finally got around to adding syntax highlighting, which was long overdue. Have a look on my Lorem Ipsum page.
